Dexter, Missouri - The Dexter Lions Club recently presented a donation in the amount of $500 to the Dexter Police Department.

The money was raised from the Back the Blue Bulb sales at the Stoddard County Fair.

Local business owners Steve Brown, Mark and Kristi Booker, Greg and Lisa Mathis donated the money for the bulbs so all monies raised could go directly to emergency agencies.  Money was also donated to the Dexter Fire Department and Stoddard County Sheriff.
